Coast update report -- Dive it with a 4,300 feet mix and how many stages? David http://www.uscg.mil/d5/news/2000/r164_00.html Coast Guard rescues 34 people Update 2 PORTSMOUTH, Va. A Coast Guard Air Station Elizabeth City, N.C., C-130 Hercules airplane flew over the site of the sunk passenger vessel SeaBreeze I this afternoon after Sunday's rescue of 34 crewmembers onboard. The C-130 crew confirmed that the vessel is not a hazard to navigation in 4,300 feet of water and there were no reports of an environmental impact. The crew did find a large debris field consisting of tables, chairs, lifeboats and liferafts approximately 290 nautical miles east of Cape Charles, Va. SeaBreeze I departed Halifax, Nova Scotia, made a stop in Boston and was en-route to Charleston, S.C., for repairs when the ship's engine room flooded. All crewmembers aboard the vessel were safely evacuated from the ship, transported to Naval Air Base Oceana, treated for mild hypothermia and released. All but one crewman was released. This afternoon, Coast Guard Marine Safety Office Hampton Roads received a request from the lead investigating agency, the Panama Maritime authority, to assist in an investigation into the cause of the sinking. -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
